Aug 28, 2020 Report
I'm so glad that I found Old English Window Company. We were desperate to find a solution to restore our 1914 stained glass bay windows in a way that was respectful to the original craftsmanship, but gave us the sound, thermal and security benefits of double glazing. Matt is really an expert on this, and totally understood what we were after from our initial conversation. Professional, responsive, prompt, clean and really experienced, they made a very daunting project an absolute breeze from start to finish.

Our fitters (Ash and Phil) were a pleasure to have around and their attention to detail was superb. We're really happy with the end result. It seems strange to make a big investment in something that essentially looks the same, but that was exactly the point! The frames are the exact replica of the originals, but it's SO much quieter and warmer. If you're struggling to find someone you trust with your period windows, I would recommend these guys without hesitation.

The Old English Window Company fitted double glazed sash windows into our Victorian terraced house in May 2019. (I've been meaning to write this review for a while..) The house had the original sashes which were, amongst other things, draughty and painted shut. Since having double glazing the house is warmer, quieter, safer and the windows look great. From the initial contact Matt, Saran and their team were professional, friendly, respectful and thorough. All of my questions and requests were answered, and they were always on time and tidy. Thanks again for your hard work!
